HOW DIXEY WAS CURED.
One of Wall Streets Big Operators OBJ
tains a Mascot.
He Makes Lucky Bit in New Line of Bust
ness, Saving Lives and Curing Ills-Ex-
pressions Of Gratitude Showered
Upon Him from All Directions.

It is strange how Dame Fortune sometimes
showers her blessings on a man when he least
expects it. One may strive ever so hard to sue
coed in life and then die poor, while another
will get rich without seeming to exert any
especial effort. The financial success that has
marked the career Of Mr.. Charles D. Keep, the
editor and proprietor of the Wall-street Daily
News illustrates this idea pretty WELL Mr..
Keep started In life as reporter on the New
York Times. After Flooding along for years,
during which he attained great distinction as
financial writer. he one day established daily
financial paper on Wall street. It's success was
almost instantaneous. and it has ever since been
looked upon as an authority by the great money
kings Of Gotham. Then Mr. Keep took hand
il stocks on his own hook. Again fortune
smiled. His speculations were almost always on
the right side, and in a few years he had amassed
handsome fortune.
Now the New York papers are talking about
another great piece of good luck that has showed
itself athwart his pathway. To this the New
York World devoted two celumns, the other
day, from which the following is distracted:
One day last summer Mr.. Keep started over
into New Jersey on his way to his elegant sum-
mer residence at Long Branch. He was suffer
ing from terrible cold His throat was lined
with canker sores 80 that he could scarcely swal-
low, and he could not speak above a whisper.
The conductor of the train, seeing his pitiable
condition, gave Mr.. Keep several little tablets,
or troches and told him to let them slowly dis
solve in his mouth. He did So and before
reaching the end of his journey he had recov
cred his voice and the soreness in his throat was
nearly gone. So wonderful and complete was
the cure that after returning to New York, Mr..
Keep wrote to the conductor asking him where
the remedy could be obtained. The conductor
replied that the troches were made by himself.
He sent Mr.. Keep several boxes Of troches and
also two bottles Of the remedy put up in liquid
form, saying that the medicine was sure cure
for bronchitis, asthma, tonsilits and all other
diseases of the throat and lungs. The remedy.
he said, had been used extensively by his own
family and immediate friends, and had proved
infallible He called it K-Wren. Mr.. Keep
gave some of the troches to his Wall-street ac-
quaintances, and soon K-Wreu was the talk of
the street.
Henry E. Dixey, the only "Adonis," whose
one thousandth performance is to take place in
Chicago, March 81. is too we'll known to nearly
special reference All know that he gave
"Adonis" to the dramatic world. Everybody
knows OF that unprecedented success which fol-
lowed the career Of the play How Mr. Dixey
went to Europe and became the lion of the hour
with princes and such. How he wined and
dined almost without end. But everybody does
not know that, going from Cincinnati to Chicago
two weeks ago. he contracted severe cold; that
1t was OF such nature to threaten interference
with his work and that box of K-Wren has
| cured him. Mr. Dixey knows this and lie is not
backward in affirming it.
| Colonel Reiff, of the great firm of Woerishoffer
q Co.. became an early apostle OF 'K-wren' just
because the medicine cured an obstinate cold.
| Up to last week it had cost him little fortune
to keep his coughing friends in ''K-wren" troches
| for he had determined not to let any of his
| cronies suffer if he could help it. But, all the
